Abstract
Data on cancer are available in all countries with records of pathology examinations, hospital admissions, and death certificates. However, the epidemiological patterns of cancer occurrence can be mapped only in countries in which all cancers occurring in well-defined populations are enumerated and characterized as completely as possible through systematic cancer registration.Keywords
